HDAMA errors during PCI scan
by Craig C Forney 28 Oct '03

28 Oct '03

I wanted get up to date with the latest code developments with Linuxbios on the HDAMA board. I downloaded the current source tree from sourceforge this morning. The build went just fine. However, it gets stuck during initialization. The only code change I made to the latest version was to change the PAYLOAD to FILO 0.4. (The version from a few weeks ago makes, compiles, and boots Linux using FILO 0.3.) I'm guessing that there is some configuration change needed for HDAMA.

Support for Boser crusoe board?
by Hubert Denkmair 25 Oct '03

25 Oct '03

Hello list, I have a very, VERY nice mini PC with Crusoe TM5400 / VIA VT82C686A chipset here: http://www.boser.com.tw/products/sbc/hs1600.htm Linux works fine on it, now it would be cool if it was supported by linuxbios. There seems to be support for the vt82c686 (without 'A') in the v1 source tree, but of course there is no direct support for the Boser board. lspci says: --- 00:00.0 Host bridge: Transmeta Corporation LongRun Northbridge 00:00.1 RAM memory: Transmeta Corporation SDRAM controller 00:00.2 RAM memory: Transmeta Corporation BIOS scratchpad 00:07.0 ISA bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc.

awakening noop

Haven't seen these in a while, but they are back with the latest romcc release: apic.h:100.1: auto.c:123.19: auto.c:197.30: 0x735c00 noop Internal compiler warning: awakening noop? apic.h:100.1: auto.c:129.19: auto.c:197.30: 0x736b90 noop Internal compiler warning: awakening noop? Don't think they're saying anything else but that a dead subtree was detected in the code? Stefan -- Stefan Reinauer, SUSE LINUX AG Teamleader Architecture Development

Re: Totally mystified w/ V2
by Dave Ashley 25 Oct '03

25 Oct '03

Found earlier post which suggests doing this: buildtarget via/epia Guessed that this had to be done within targets directory. Got this error: ... lots cut, hashed over before TypeError: long requires exactly 1 argument; 2 given Ended up modifying util/newconfig/config.g> rule term: NUM {{ return long(NUM, 10) }} | HEX_PREFIX HEX_NUM {{ return long(HEX_NUM, 16) }} becomes rule term: NUM {{ return long(NUM) }} | HEX_PREFIX HEX_NUM {{ return long(eval("0x" + HEX_NUM)) }} Hopefully this is compatible with newer versions of python and that the long() can take 1 or 2 arguments... Then it dies on this: gcc ... -o crt0.o crt0.s crt0.s: Assembler messages: crt0.s:16821: Error: missing ')' crt0.s:16821: Error: junk `L+0x03)' after expression crt0.s:16822: Error: missing ')' crt0.s:16822: Error: junk `L|0x80)' after expression crt0.s:16835: Error: missing ')' crt0.s:16835: Error: junk `L+0x00)' after expression etc, etc. This is after I go into targets/via/epia/epia and do 'make'. -Dave

well, this is interesting. I just got the commit email for something I did several days ago. Does anyone have contacts at sourceforge? I'd like to see if this is temporary delays or a death spasm. ron ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, 22 Oct 2003 14:54:21 -0700 From: rminnich(a)users.sourceforge.net To: freebios-cvs(a)lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Freebios-cvs] freebios2/src/northbridge/via/vt8601 raminit.c,1.11, 1.12

the new pcchips m810 with DDR
by Andre Dias 24 Oct '03

24 Oct '03

SDRAM memories are becoming scarce. DDR memories are more common. Linuxbios already supports DDR, and the cheapest pcchips board that uses DDR and will substitute the m810 will be M810dlu 7.5A (http://www.pcchips.com.tw/product/M810DLUv75a.html). Does linuxbios support it? I have a very small company that uses linuxbios on M810 and K7SEM boards (sis730/sis730s), despite a small problem with keyboard idle, its pretty stable. I am willing to pay to have linuxbios working on M810dlu 7.5A (though I am very short on money). I don't need X, just the framebuffer, but I need the keyboard bug solved. Can someone help me? I can donate the boards and material. Thanks fellows

Totally mystified w/ V2
by Dave Ashley 24 Oct '03

24 Oct '03

Well I'm having no luck trying to figure out how to build V2. No doc files, just some ".tex" files which tex doesn't like. Some files that the old configure method doesn't work on: dash% python ../util/config/NLBConfig.py ../targets/via/epia/Config.lb /ram/freebios2 /ram/freebios2/targets/via/epia/Config.lb:5: arch, target, or mainboard must be the first commands, not loadoptions Can someone tell me how to build the epia target in the freebios2 tree? Here's some stuff that should make this thread easier to find building with v2 building with linuxbios version2 building with linuxbios v2 how-to build version2 Thanks-- Dave

customization
by mannitol 23 Oct '03

23 Oct '03

I have not yet attempted to set up a linux bios. From the guides that I've skimmed through so far I think I shouldn't have too much trouble. I was wondering what kinds of customization options are included. I would like to display a bitmap as the bios loads and hide any messages that would normally be displayed. I know, of course, that this can be done. Unfortunatly I am not much of a programmer. Is there a relatively easy way to do this? Any help would be appreciated.
